I am going to faint...Bee I swear if I faint promise you will tell Nick that I love him." Abbie and her sister and her neice were sitting in the front row watching the boys perform. Rae had kept Abbie laughing with all her teenage comments about Nick. Abbie knew that once the show was over and Rae got to meet the boys that the now boisterous young girl would turn into a timid and shy girl.
~~**~~
"Howiiiie" Absy jumped from Abbie's arms and ran towards Howie who had just come backstage and was still in his costume. "Hi munchkin" Howie scooped her up and hugged her "So did you like the show?"
"Auntie Bee and Rae did, they were talking about yours and Nick's bums" Absy giggled as Abbie and Rae turned red at her confession.
"They did did they?" Howie looked over at Abbie and grinned "hmm did they say whose bum was cuter?" Howie pried the little girl for information and was laughing as he watched Abbie squirm.
Absy whispered into Howie's ear "yours but don't tell Auntie that I told you because she will turn red again"
"I promise, Munchkin I have to leave so I will see you at the hotel ok?" Howie put the little girl down and winked at Abbie as he walked away.
Abbie gasped and then cracked up as she saw Howie take his shirt away from his butt so that she could get a better look at his much discussed butt. "You are evil Dorough" she muttered as she took the girls' hands and walked towards the exit.

Back at the hotel
Abbie burst out laughing as she saw Howie standing in the doorway wearing his pajamas. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Rae told me you were all having a mini pajama party so I thought that if I was going to crash it that I had better be able to blend in with the crowd." Howie walked into the room and smiled when he saw the girls sitting on the couch amidst junk food and room service "It looks like you are all starting the party without me"
"We were hungry so we had to" Rae explained. "We are about to order Tarzan are you going to watch it with us?"
"I didn't get all dressed up in my pjs for nothing." Howie sat cross legged on the floor and patted the floor beside him. "Abs you know I can't watch a movie without my pillow"
Abbie looked at the three of them on the floor and joined them.
~~**~~
"Thanks for helping me put them to bed Howie" Abbie whispered as they walked down the hall towards the living room.
"My pleasure Abs...umm I guess now that half of the pajama party guest are asleep that I should get going huh"
Abbie looked at how incredible sexy Howie looked in his flannel pajama bottoms and ripped sweatshirt and smiled "The host isn't tired so if you want to watch another movie then I would love the company."
Howie smiled and started to flip through the channels to find another movie.
~~**~~
"Howie can you scratch my ankle for me please, I am too comfortable to move" Abbie and Howie were watching Double Jeopardy and in their movie watching position.
"What would you do without me?" Howie teased as he ran his hand down her leg to her ankle and softly scratched it. He got his answer in the form of popcorn being tossed at him.
~~**~~
"Leave me alone...please get off of me....I am a virgin..NO!!!" Abbie's scream broke the silence and Howie reached for her in the dark.
"Abs..Abbie....it is me..Howie" Howie turned on the light and saw a crying and frightened Abbie cradling her bent legs in her arms and rocking back and forth. "You had a bad dream" Howie reached for her and gathered her in his arms and she clung to him as they rocked together on the couch.
"Bee....are you alright?" A frightened Raeleen came running out into the living room to check on her sister. She stopped when she saw Abbie and Howie hugging each other tightly on the couch. "You must have screamed really loud if he heard you all the way on the 11th floor"
" We were watching a movie and fell asleep on the couch, go back to bed Rae she is fine" Howie smiled to reassure the young girl and then turned his attention back to Abbie. "Do you want to tell me about it?" he asked as he ran his fingers through her tangled mass of curls.
"It was just a dream Howie..that's all, I am fine now" Abbie laid her head in Howie's lap and she was soon asleep.
"Abbie you have been having bad dreams almost every night, something is bothering you and I wish you would tell me what it is" Howie thought to himself as he strecthed out and made himself comfortable.
~~**~~
Abbie heard soft whispers coming from the bedroom as she tried to shake the sleepiness from her body. She looked up at Howie who was looked very uncomfortable sleeping on the couch and smiled as she walked down the hall to check on the girls.
~~**~~
"So here is where all the guests are" Howie stood in the open doorway, watching the three girls lying in bed talking.
"Morning Howie" Rae and Absy chimed.
"Hi ladies..Abbie I have to head back and get ready for the media conference. I will see you all there right?"
"I will walk you out" Abbie stood up and walked with Howie to the door. "Don't we just make the most attractive couple huh?" Abbie stared at their reflection in the hallway mirror. Her hair was tousled and tangled and his was half in and half out of his elastic.
"I think we match each other perfectly" Howie brushed a curl out of her face and smiled.
Abbie reached up and placed her hand on his, holding it close to her face "Thank you so much for last night"
"Abbie I am your friend and that is what I am here for" Howie stared into
her brown eyes and his eyes drifted to her full lips and before he could get
another word out her lips were on his. As their kisses became more urgent
and their breathing deepened a soft voice broke the passion filled silence
"Ewww Rae Auntie Bee and Howie are kissing" Howie leaned his face onto hers
and smiled "Busted by the kiddie patrol"
